The Random Thought Thread

Maybe. I think if he was getting surgery, they'd have already put him on IR. Could be that his timetable is just sort of ill-defined, or that between he and Linderbaum, four weeks is kind of the baseline rest period.
I'm not sure how much longer they can sustain it though if short-term injuries continue to grow. Even with PS elevations, you're at 55 players. They have four guys who I'd say are unlikely to play this week (Marlon, Linderbaum, Stanley, Williams) and then they now have Oweh and OBJ dealing with short term injuries. So you're looking at like two healthy scratches. Another injury or two like these and you're going to be challenged to field a full gameday roster without putting somebody on IR.

And based on where the roster sits now, I wouldn't be entirely certain that Hamm or Mitchell return from IR at all. If they were really concerned about having too many IR guys and not even return slots, those would be two guys who are basically fringe-roster, depth-type players, who probably just wouldn't come off IR.

Yes, it could post challenges in brining them back, but I do believe atleast one of them, Mitchell, does make it back to the roster.

I'm wondering if the reason Marcus Williams isn't going on IR is due to only being able to bring back 8 players from IR. The Ravens already have three players on IR that they would like to bring back in Tyus Bowser, Malik Hamm and Keaton Mitchell. If we put Marcus Williams on IR we would have already used up half of the eligible to be returned players from IR. I think Williams could still be out longer than 4 weeks in his rehab. No guarantee, but that's my opinion.

Maybe, but roster spots are at less of a premium later in the season as injuries mount and spaces open up, so it's probably quite normal to use most of your IR designated to return spots early.

The fighting at games is wild nowadays. I know it's mostly alcohol that causes it, but I could never imagine getting so worked up over a damn game that I'd start swinging.

Did you see the Bengals fan that head butted another fan while he was already in handcuffs ?

Well, there was someone *cough* you *cough* who made death threats against the ref in the game thread, so I can believe that people living in cincy losing it on gamedays. Right?

Yes. That was absolutely wild. Some fans can't control their emotions if their lives depended on it and that's scary.
